Dinosaurs that run, a pirate cannon to fire, a safari in the dark. These cards are made for children: big pictures, short games and their own name on the front.
Every card has a game or an animation that a child can start by holding a phone over the card.
Add the child's name and a photo in the editor. The card is theirs, not just any card.
No app, no account, no ads. A parent scans the card and hands over the phone.
Children do not read cards, they look at them. So these cards are mostly picture: a dinosaur, a pirate ship, a racing kart. And then the surprise: the picture starts to move. A parent scans the card, the game starts and the child plays. The printed card stays on the wall long after.
The classic red and white rocket, now in deep space: standing on a cratered moon with the photo of the birthday child in the porthole, their name on the rocket and your message. Scan the card and the rocket stands on it in 3D with the photo in the window; the engine lights, it lifts off in smoke and fire and flies round the card in loops and swoops, never the same twice. Tap it: the boosters fire with a big burst of flames and smoke.
A snowy Christmas night with a Santa who dances on the card. Scan it and tap Santa: he spins, jumps and says your own message, while it keeps snowing.
An endless runner on a card: a T-Rex races down a sandy track through a volcano valley. Scan the card and swipe left or right to change lane, swipe up to jump over rocks and logs, and collect the spotted eggs. The further you run, the faster it gets. At 500 metres your own message appears. How far can you get?
A real pop-up card in augmented reality. Scan it and a paper card unfolds on top: waves, clouds and a sailing ship stand up out of the fold, with your own text on the sails.
A birthday hologram in party colours. Scan the card and your video message appears above it; tap it and confetti flies out.
A pirate game on a treasure map. Scan the card and ships sail across the sea, over your card and far beyond it: tap the water and the cannon on the island fires. Sink 8 ships in 45 seconds, the ghost ship counts triple, and the treasure chest opens with your own message.
A comic cover with your own hero on it: put in a photo and the face goes on the superhero, on the print and in 3D. Scan the card and the superhero flies in from far away, makes a loop round the card and lands on it with a bang. He says your message in a speech bubble; tap him for laser eyes and fireworks or another flight. For dad, grandpa, a teacher or anyone who deserves a cape.
An invitation to a movie party. The card shows a little cinema from above: red seats, popcorn and a projector. Scan it and the screen rolls up out of its case, the projector starts with a beam of light, and your own video plays on the screen. Tap for popping popcorn.
A snow globe that stands upright on your card. Scan the card and the globe appears with Santa, a cottage and a glowing lantern inside: tilt or turn the card and the snow swirls like real water, settles and falls again. Tap to shake the globe, Santa cheers, and the brass plaque carries your own words.
A birthday cake that stands on your card, with as many candles as the age you fill in. Scan the card and blow into your phone: the flames flicker, bend and go out one by one, smoke curls up, and when the last one is out the balloons rise and your own wish appears. No microphone? Swipe over the candles.
A castle on your card and the new knight in front of it, with your photo as his face (on the print and in 3D) and his name on the banner over the gate. Scan the card: drums, the drawbridge comes down, the king steps out and knights the hero. Then tap: the Black Knight storms across the bridge and every tap is a sword blow until he falls. Victory pose for a photo.
A Christmas village with a toy train on your card: one wagon for every photo you add, each with a photo frame on board, so the whole family rides along. Scan the card and the train rides its loop past the gingerbread house and the tree, puffing smoke, the photos riding with it. Tap and it stops at the station, where Santa and the elves open a big present with your own message. Tap again and the whistle blows.
A dragon on your card, as big as the card itself. Scan the card and it stands up on its rocky ledge, breathes, looks you in the eye and follows your camera around the room. Tap: it nods, shakes its head, roars with a burst of fire and strikes a pose, with your words in a speech bubble. Then press the photo button: you and the dragon, ready to share.
A big red toy tractor on a green hill, with the photo of the birthday child in the cab window, the name on the hood and the age in a balloon. Scan the card and the tractor stands on the card in 3D: it drives off puffing smoke, loops round behind the card and comes back along the front with the balloons bobbing on their strings. Tap it: the horn honks, it hops, and confetti bursts from the balloon. For a first, second or third birthday, or any small farmer.
Write to the child, not to the parents. Use their name, one short sentence and a big "Hooray". For a birthday, say how old they are: "Six already!". For a get-well card, promise something: "We will play football when you are better."
Order a pack with the same design and give every child a card with their own name, for the end of the school year, a tournament or a sleepover party.
Pick a design, add the name and a photo, and watch their face when the card starts to move.
